Be sure to cite all sources you use.
Teaching slide(s) (one to three slides): Prepare slides that contain important points about the app that you want to teach to the patient, such as how to use the app safely and effectively (including how to interpret and act on the information that is provided).
Evaluation slide(s) (one to three slides): Describe how you would determine the success of the patients use of this app. For example, include ways to evaluate the effectiveness of the teaching plan that are a good fit for the type of app and focus on specific ways that this app benefits the patients health and wellness.
References (last slide): List any references for sources that were in the presentation.
Number of PowerPoint slides: 6-10 slides total
Writing and design: There should be no spelling or grammatical errors. Writing is concise and clear. Avoid words that the patient may not understand. Slides are visually appealing, incorporating graphics, photographs, colors, and themes.

As healthcare delivery evolves due to the increased use of health technologies, mHealth apps have become commonplace. Such apps have allowed patients to self-manage health and interact with care providers. Since positive outcomes are realized when patients use mHealth apps securely, teaching them about an app’s features, secure usage, and effective use is crucial. The purpose of this presentation is to explore an appropriate mHealth app and its usage in disease control and management. Focus areas include a patient scenario necessitating the use of an app, a detailed description of the mHealth app, content to teach the patient, and teaching evaluation.
Frank Jones presents himself at the community health center with type 2 diabetes, whose management has become a significant family problem. Frank has struggled to keep glucose levels within the desired health range in the past six months. Other concerns include carb intake control and timely data sharing with his doctor. As a result, he wants advice and medical assistance on overcoming these problems and achieving good health. Based on his concerns and questions, Frank shows readiness to learn about the effective management of type 2 diabetes. The focus of patient education should be showing him how to use mHealth for better disease management.
An appropriate app for the patient is MySugr, which is highly rated for comprehensive diabetes management. The app aims to guide patients on diabetes control and effective management by guidance on carb counting, continuous glucose tracking, and bolus dose estimations (mySugr GmbH, 2021). Depending on how it is customized, the app can provide weekly, monthly, or annual reports on the patient’s glucose levels. The app is a valuable health management resource for patients with type 1, 2, and gestational diabetes. It is available on Apple Store and Google Play and compatible with iPhone and Android devices. Other features in the app for improved health outcomes include reminders, such as blood sugar changes after an intensive workout.
Effective type 2 diabetes depends on how well the patient controls blood sugar. The objective should be keeping blood sugar within the desired range, which also reduces the risk of heart disease and other serious problems (CDC, 2022). For the app to guide the patient effectively on A1c estimation, adequate and accurate data are mandatory. As a result, the patient should enter at least 21 blood sugar values weekly for at least four days. Skipping two days in a row results into a gap. If the gap detects the gap, it does not calculate and display A1c values. Therefore, the patient must keep feeding the app with the necessary data to achieve optimal health outcomes.
Hello Professor and Class,
I would like to discuss telerehabilitation. It is the use of interactive communication technology to facilitate assessment of patient’s functional abilities and provide exercise and rehabilitation therapies (Hebda, Hunter, & Czar, 2019). Telerehabilitation is a branch of telemedicine. It is a new and interesting field that reduces the cost of traditional inpatient or face-to-face rehabilitation. Patients in remote areas can benefit from telerehabilitation since traditional rehabilitation might not be easily accessible to them (Peretti, Amenta, Tayebati, Nittari, & Mahdi, 2107). Telerehabilitation involves the use of electronic information and telecommunication by providers when there are geographic distances. Video teleconferencing is used to link patients with the providers. Home telehealth can be used in connecting patients in their homes to monitor patients’ status and what equipment are needed. The benefit is fast access to care, improvement in clinical communication, as well as the elimination of unnecessary travels. Rehabilitation helps to provide care needed to transition patients back to a functional level. Before telerehabilitation is initiated, patients usually meet with the providers through video teleconferencing to build confidence in the service and promote relationship with the treatment teams (polytrauma.va.govLinks to an external site., n.d.)
By connecting through video teleconferencing, providers can observe how patients participate in ADLs, what assistive devices are needed, and what can be modified in the patient’s home to achieve patient’s independence. Home video teleconferencing combined with telerehabilitation will go a long way in achieving the goal of rehabilitation altogether. Further research is still needed to improve and perfect telerehabilitation. With provider’s support and patient’s feedback, rehabilitation techniques can be updated and quality improved (Peretti, Amenta, Tayebati, Nittari, & Mahdi, 2107).
